The best part about having a BLOG is that I can put all sorts of pictures that I find, and believe me I have lots.
Example here's my Nephew Jason when he was a kid, he looks like he could be a trouble maker but he was a good kid
Here's my Brother Emile when he was 10, he looked sharp
Here's someone I miss dearly, My Grand Mother Lauza Paulin our mother's Mom. She lived until 99 years and 5 months, she passed away after a stroke. She had always told me that she would do a Tandem Skydive with me on her 100th birthday and I'm sure she would of. She use to always give me cookies when I visited her. I wonder where my Brother Emile would have gotten that Airborne Engineer T-Shirt. Emile is an excellent Golfer and plays Scratch Golf, I couldn't hit a golf ball to save my life but I'm a good Paratrooper. I told him that the day he jumps out of an airplane is the day I'll start playing Golf. It's not about to happen soon
Eulogy for my Grand Mother Lauza Paulin
I wrote this Eulogy to remember the great times I had with my Grand Mother Lauza Paulin. Grand’ma was born in 1902, before the very first airplane flew by the Wright brothers. She was already 60 years old when I was born, so I can only attest to the last 40 years. Years, for me that were Grand’ma Paulin’s years. She was born before automobiles, detergent hadn’t been invented yet and Space travel was not even an illusion. She saw and lived through the First and Second World War, Korean and Vietnam War. She didn’t know it, but she was the very reason for my existence, because, without her my mother would not be born and subsequently I wouldn’t have been born. For me Grand’ma Paulin’s house was a sanctuary that I could always visit. I remember the generosity of Grand’ma Paulin, she always had cookies for us and was always happy to see us. She will always be in our memories and now she is our Guardian Angel. She will be miss but will remain always in our thoughts.
